Josh Wilson gathers an ensemble of A-listers and amateurs.

Josh wanted to create a collaborative video for his song “Shine On Us”, so he had his fans and his artist friends shoot videos of them performing parts of the song. After months of editing, he has a really cool and unique video.

Can you spot all the Christian artists? Here are some of those making appearances: Matthew West, Sidewalk Prophets, Steven Curtis Chapman, Brandon Heath, Mikeschair, Mandisa, Chris August, Jonny Diaz, Big Daddy Weave, Dara Maclean and Dave Barnes.

Downhere announces the end of the road.

The critically-acclaimed Canadian band will disband in January of 2013. Here’s a note from the band:

Hello friends, It has become very clear to us that this chapter of our journey, initiated by God, is drawing to a close. While we mourn the end of this season we also celebrate over a decade of ministry. It has been hard work and our families have paid a big price. The friends, songs, experiences, and lives changed as a result of hearing the truth of God's love has sustained us through many years and miles.

For those of you who know us well you know that this is not a band breakup. In fact, we are open to playing a select few shows or events in the future. After many years and miles spent together we have become a band of brothers who love each other dearly.

Sincerely, Jason, Marc, Glenn, & Jeremy

Downhere won our very first Circle Bunny Bracket Madness back in the day. Check out this song they performed live on the show for us.
